Yeah, any topic that even remotely ventures near the topic of violating someone’s bodily autonomy should always trigger defensiveness in my opinion.
Governments should have zero privileges concerning any human’s decisions about their own body. They should instead be vehemently upholding those rights. Funding education and scientific research to help people make those decisions and about the risks of their choices when exercising those rights is fine.
That’s it.
The right and the left are both historically terrible at this, but lately it’s been mostly the right.
I swear the inmates are running the asylum over there now. I hope they can find their way back to sanity.
- imoverclocked 2y agoThis isn't about rights to your own body. This is about rights to knowing as much as you can before taking action. Many people defend cannabis so hard that they can't even entertain the idea that it might have negative consequences. That misinformation is damaging to them and it's damaging to the people around them.

- charlie90 2y ago>Governments should have zero privileges concerning any human’s decisions about their own body. Well thats pretty absurd since the entire point of a government is to limit peoples freedom in the name of improving society. What happens when you dont pay taxes?
- atlas_hugged 2y agoGo to google, type “what is the definition of bodily autonomy?”
- cykros 2y agoMostly the right? Something tells me you've already forgotten about what happened across the planet from 2020-~2022 with mandated experimental vaccinations and mandated masking. The right does typically target drugs more (as well as abortion rights). The left tends to be the ones taking soda machines away, and much more okay with forced health measures otherwise.
